That's because those people, like you, don't know what they're talking about. Doctors raise costs. Labs raise costs. Pharma raises costs. Patients raise costs. Those are the cost drivers. What you don't understand is that both the government AND private insurance simple REACT. They don't drive. When you crash your car your rates go up. Action-reaction. When you file a home owners claim your rates go up. Reaction. When doctors raise rates insurance (gov or priv) must react. When patient rates of diabetes rise, insurance must react. And you don't get that. So you fail before you've even left the gate. What you do get right (but you don't know it and don't understand it) is that the problem with healthcare is market failure, and market failure can only be fixed the market rule makers: government. This is the reason anyone who truly understands these things, like Obama, has already eliminated single payer as an option. Thus the question is NOT who is going to fix the problem; ONLY - only - government can. Why? They are the only institution able to re-make the market rules. You think all doctors are willing to work for a smile? Well, we're going to find out. Ok, you're going to find out. Many of us already know. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:296639 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
